PNEUMATIC CLAMPING SYSTEM FOR THE TEST BENCH

PSH has developed a pneumatic clamping system as clamping of alternators to the test bench is becoming more difficult owing to the unconventional shapes of modern alternators. This means that it no longer matters what shape the alternator is as the system uses the alternator’s own fixing/hanging facilities. 
 

More than 99% of all common alternators can be clamped in place on this system, even the water-cooled alternators and the ‘block fit’ alternators. 
The pneumatic system means that the belt will never slip, even at a take-off of 200 amps/24 volts!! 
 

It is obvious that the saving in time gained by this way of fitting is enormous, but there are more advantages. Clamping using the used drive belt means that it is possible to test the alternator at a higher no. of revolutions, which also means that there is a greater chance of all faults in the alternator coming to light during testing. 
 

If you would like to know more about this system, PSH can always provide you with a demonstration as the system is set up permanently in our showroom.
